The first image I've posted is from Barcelona, Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat, from the site of the workshop areas (Fullers etc) dated around 2nd AD. I thought this was an etching by a bored slave of the mosaic pattern Solomon's knot (2nd image of a mosaic added for comparison). I've just found my photo of the label and it says, 'game boards engraved on pottery'.
Anyone seen anything like this, any other games like this?

Asking me to tile your bathroom is like asking Vermeer to creosote your shed ;-)
